38th Annual CPAC Draws Record Numbers

February 11, 2011--Niger Innis, national spokesman of the Congress of Racial Equality, introduced former Godfather's Pizza CEO Herman Cain, an exploratory presidential candidate. 
Cain went through an amusing routine before beginning his speech, showing the audience that he had nothing up his sleeves and then appearing to swim through the applause. 

Cain said the American Dream is under attack by "the attack of the '-ations'...too much legislation, too much regulation, and too much taxation."  "The attack of the '-ations' is killing the American Dream."  Cain said.  Cain lambasted "health care deform" and called for the Fair Tax, saying it is time to throw out the tax code and start over.  "The United States of America will not become the United States of Europe, not on our watch," Cain declared.  [transcript]
